Hnlldings are not under consid eration - in the raise, only the ground itself being affected. This Is the first outstanding .increase 8ine lft 10. Areas affected are hounded by Church, Trade, and Center street., with the river front to the west. Assessment values will gradu ate in correspondence to the cen ter of commercial activities and trends of higher market turn over. At first glance, this raise will nppear unfair, it is thought, hut the apportionate system of in crease smooths out the flurries And the change does not affect, in the least particle, residential as sessment values. County officials felt that a blanket Increase on resident prop erty at this time would be un founded, allowing the readjust ment to extend more conserva tively in later years. 1925 Standard Buick Coach.

WITH OAC Local University Debaters Return From Trip; Lost r Three and Won EiojH "What promises to he one of the best debates ever to have been neard on the local platform will be held tomorrow niglitin Waller hall with Willamette university speakers, Charles Redding and Robert .Witty, vieing with a team . from Oregon Agricultural college. The Willamette spellbinders will arrive Thursday morning from the extensive trip on which they have been during the past three weeks meeting eleven scnools and losing only to three. At. Los Angeles, the debaters handed University of Southern .California the first defeat it has suffered on its home floor in fifteen years, according to reports from that institution. The debaters upon their return tomorrow, will rest up a bit in the afternoon and then be ready to throw the force of a strong argument-against the OAC speak ers. The question debated will be: "Resolved that all foreign control in China be immediately relin quished except that commonly ex ercised by consuls and legations." Willamette will uphold the nega tive. A debate with University of. Southern California next Monday will close the season for the men debaters. Hy of the deeper channel may be ordered. The delegation, which included Sena'tor McNary of Oregon; James II. F'olhemiis. engineer of the port of Portland, and W. 11. U. Ikd kttn, general managers of the cily' chanLlier of commerce, explained to the board that Die .".it foot channel of the Columbia rfver should be deepened five feet to correspond with the 35 foot out in the Willamette river. The Willamette channel was deepened at the city's expense, the delegation explained, contend ing that unless the Columbia .is likewise deeiened the city will lose much of its commerce through inability to handle the deepor draft liners. The city originally required a channel 00 feet wide and 3 5 feet deep in the Columbia but the board tentatively decided upon 500 feet. leaving the depth at ?,0 feet. The delegation expressed will ingness to accept the 50it feet width but declared the port could not hope to maintain its commer cial position' without a deeper channel. Its spokesmen contend ed the dredging required could be easily accomplished at a cost to the government of not more than $1,400,000.

(AP Suspension of Illinois coal mining tt midnight Thursday will be 100 ner cent ?ffective. President Uice Miller of the Illinois coal operators predicted toulaht. He added that the operators would meet the min ers at any time to sign a lower wage agreement and resume min imi. The proposal of John L. Lewis, miners' international president, that mines willing to pay the ex isting scale continue in operation, would find no response in Illinois, Mr. Miller declared. Unless an agreement is entered into by all operators, he said, none of them will resume work. "I can say nothing that I have not said time and again," Miller said tonight. "Our beard will con vene tomorrow, we will look the field over, and perhaps issue a statement then. Meantime, our position Is briefly this: "The proposal of Mr. Lewis policy committee Ahat the miners continue to work under the pres ent wage agreement is not accept able to the Illinois operators. Our position is the same as it was last week. Illinois operators must have a wage agreement that will permit them to reduce the cost of producing coal. I take it mines of the state will be, closed -pending; the making or the new agreement. ."We are willing at all times to discuss with' the union or our em ployes the making of a new con tract" Mr. Miller added that the next move would be by the miners. Thus far," he said, "we have had nothing from the miners." The prospect of a complete sus pension of mining In Iowa was also p:edicted today by President Geo. Heapers Jr. of the Iowa Coal Mine Operators' association. He said Lewis' proposal agreements "will mean virtually nothing." PORTLAND. March 2!). (AP) A Hex listening at length to plans and arguments for a toll road be tween Portland and Tillamook, the state highway commission, meeting here today, agreed to consider the matter and take it up again at the meeting set for April KS. No decision was made by the commission today. An application was heard for a franchise for such a road along the Wilson river route, and a pro posal advanced for a super-road district. including Multnomah. Washington and Tillamook coun ties, to build a toll road on any one of four routes between Port land and Tillamook, the route to te selected by the commission. Notification has been received by the highway commission from the public service commission that a bearing will be held on a re quest for a certificate of neces sity and convenience to build a toll road between Portland and Tillamook. John I". Smith, Yamhill, sug gested to the commission the cre ation of a super-road district for the building of a Tillamook toll road. A levy of one mill a year on the assessed valuation of Mult nomah, Washington and Tilla mook counties, he said, would pay for the road in a. few years. He favored the Trask river route, in preference to the Wilson, Timber and Nestucca projects. Smith opposed private owner ship of the proposed toll road urg ing that if the project is under taken it be operated by a public body, such as a auper-road dis trict a municipality, much in thr- same manner as a drainage or an irrigation district. What was regarded as probably the most important work of to day's session, was the letting of :i contract for the section of Roose velt highway between Roekaway and Garibaldi on Tillamook beaches. This is the last grading contract for this highway in the county. Work will be started as quickly as possible in order that traffic in the summer will not be blockaded. The first work will be to get around the cliffs at Oari baldi and Barview. A delegation from Lincoln coun ty was given hope today that sometime during the summer or autumn, the commission expects to let a contract for at least one seotion of the Roosevelt highway between Newport and Waldport Lane county offered to cooper ate to the extent of $65,000 on the Springfield bridge and the pro posal was accepted. The project will cost approximately 1200.000 with everything included. Deschutes county asked for a revision of the line north of Bend for four miles and asked that Me Kenzie Pass be kept open during the winter months.

DeAutremont Evades Questions on Crime Alleged Murderer Willing to Dis cuss Anything Hut Charge MEDFORD, Ore., March 29. (AP) Cautiously evading all leading questions put to him by newspapermen. Hugh I)e Autre mont. young bandit suspect, again today successfully demonstrated his ability to carry on a bantering discussion of irrelevant generali ties. De Autremont is held here on a charge of alleged complicity in the infamous Siskiyou train robbery and consequent murder of four men in 1923. Perfectly willing and apparent ly eager to discuss" anything from domestic science to domestic tariffs, De Autremont religiously evades all reference to the crime of which he is accused. Beyond stating simply, on two or three occasions that he is Innocent, the young prisoner has made no direct reference to the crime, as far as is known. Mrs. Belle De Autremont. the boy's mother, phoned Sheriff Kalph F. Jennings from Eugene today to ask that some heavier underwear be provided for the prisoner, as she had read that he had complained of being cold. Hugh., however, said that he was becoming acclimated and was "getting along fine." Buster Brown Shoe store. High class, stylish looking, comfort giving, long wearing shoes for tha least money.

Tully The essentials of history, phil osophy and science assure human beings of a hereafter known in theology as immortality, according tr Dr. Normal K. Tully. pastor of the First Presbyterian church, iu an address before Salem Kiwanlans yesterday. "Constructively minded people believe in and build up plans for their future life, history teaching us that belief in snob nlans leads men in their steps to conquer ad verse circumstances. "Philosophically, the universal Icnging for existence and the con elusions that true love never ad n its death, that the ordinary mind is too large for the fleshy environ m-ents, and that this world is in complete in its offerings for men are all affirmative answers to the question. "Science, defined as classified common sense, through its laws of the conservation of energy, the survival of the fittest, the adapta tion of faculty to environment, and the principle of progression like wise affirms the cause of iraraor tality. "Easter, which is less than three weeks away, is the outstanding festival of the year, in which man i thoughts halt from the daily whirl in consideration of, the future,' said Dr. Tully.

Chicks that have the opportunity to run about in warm sunshine, picking green grass, have little trouble with leg weakness but it is a very prevalent disease among closely confined chicks raised out of season. Fisher's Chick Starter Milk Mash, with pure Norwegian cod liver oil, minerals and powdered buttermilk cleanses the intestinal tractand helps to avoid leg weakness and white diarrhoea. Feed Fisher's Chick Starter Milk Mash until chicks are three weeks old, then change gradu ally to Fisher's Developing Mash, another won derful mash containing cod liver oil, powdered buttermilk and minerals (take ten days to make the change.) Continue feeding Fisher's Devel oping Mask until pullets are six months old. Fisher's Chick Feed should be fed along with Fisher's Chick Starter Milk Mash until the chicks are four or five weeks old (depending on their development) when the change should be made gradually to Fisher's Growing Feed (tak ing ten days to make the ehange.)
